It affected computers running XP Pro
My nephew Caleb came over and was able to fix my business computer with some of his tricks.

The problem I had on the 21st was the first problem I ever had.
It's saved my bacon a bunch of times too.
I love the rating I get on web sites, it let's me know whether they are safe or not before I click the link.
I also use the parental controls to prevent bad things from popping up.
